Opus intros WCU600 Touchscreen Control Panel

If you're sick and tired of having to actually walk more than three steps in order to handle mundane tasks such as turning the volume down in the kids' room or powering up the Opus system in your den, take heart. Opus has unveiled a swank (albeit pricey) new touch panel control unit meant to give Opus system owners full control over their components throughout the house on a 3.5-inch touchscreen. The WCU600 even supports IR control from faraway, but unfortunately, it looks as if this one's tied into the Opus infrastructure only. Nevertheless, those with cash to burn and desires to satisfy can look for it to ship sometime this Spring for £575 ($1,151).
